Subject: [PATCH] module.h: allow #define strings to work with MODULE_IMPORT_NS
Date: Sat,  8 Jan 2022 15:06:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220108140657.3361237-1-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)

The MODULE_IMPORT_NS() macro does not allow defined strings to work
properly with it, so add a layer of indirection to allow this to happen.

Note, there is no in-kernel user of this, I wrote this to help deal with
some module namespace issues that Android kernels were having where we
wanted to put the namespace name in a build #define to make things
easier over time when combined with the change at:
	https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220108140415.3360088-1-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org/

I can also see this be used in ways to make namespace names up "on the
fly at build time" when combined with the above-referenced change to
create a different namespace for every time the kernel is built to do a
poor-man's symbol mangling to make life harder for out-of-tree modules.
Not that I would ever suggest such a thing :)
